In North America, Vestas operates projects like Rocky Hollow Wind, supported by 1,680 technicians and 24/7 monitoring from Oregon (source: rockyhollowwind.com). Vestas also supplies turbines for high-capacity projects, where the V236-15.0 MW model represents a 500-fold capacity increase from the 30 kW prototype from 1979 (source: vestas.com).
